Synopsis
Approaching her 30th birthday, Alex faces a series of personal setbacks—emotional heartbreak, career burnout, and a deep sense of identity and life crisis. In an attempt to escape the overwhelming anxiety of city life, she decides to travel with her best friend to the remote South Australian town of Andamooka to mark her birthday, embarking on a journey of self-healing and inner exploration. Amid the vast and rugged landscape of the Australian outback, Alex confronts her inner confusion and vulnerability alone. Through encounters with strangers and connections with the indigenous cultures, she gradually regains a deeper understanding of herself and a renewed sense of strength.
